I guess they just wanted to show the women behind the men. With the cover I mean. Because, these women don't really have anything to do with the story. Well, other than the first 4 or 5 pages where they're all bitching about their women troubles. Or in Tony's case, his lack of them. The real story is about Noh-Varr, Marvel Boy. They're trying to figure out what to do about him, because just before he was incarcerated he declared war on the earth. So they're afraid that threat will carry over to the Kree Empire, or that they'll retaliate because one of their own is locked up. Either way, the Earth gets involved in a war it doesn't want to be in. So they toss around a few ideas. Some of them close to, or crossing the line. But they settle on talking to him. They want to try to talk some reason in to him, and try to get him to come over to their side willingly. It's a 2 pronged tactic actually. The want Namor to soften him up, and then Charles will put images in to his mind and try to talk him off the edge. They use the Inhumans first. Because they're a descendent of the Kree. And point out how they work in unison with the Earth heroes. Then they come around to show him Mar-Vell. The original Captain Marvel. Again, they point out how he worked in unison with the Earth heroes, and how during the first Kree was he saved counless Kree and Human lives. If fact he was an integral part of that war's resolution. So Noh-Varr wants to know, if he does decide to be good, will they let him out? "You put yourself in here, you figure a way to get yourself out" They don't want him to break out, they don't want him to bribe his way out. "Earn your way out. You're a superior Kree intellect. You'll figure it out." So the issue ends with everyone thinking about their women problems, except for Reed. He decides to take some action. And Noh-Varr sitting in his cell thinking about Captain Marvel. Another great story by Brian Michael Bendis and Jim Cheung. To bad this is only a mini. It's a pretty neat concept.
